A quick and easy gluten-free, dairy-free bread recipe that yields a soft, fluffy loaf perfect for sandwiches, toast, or brunch. Uses simple pantry staples and requires no multiple rises.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Β½ cups gluten-free flour blend (about 300 g)
  • Β½ cup almond flour (about 50 g)
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • ΒΌ cup coconut oil, melted (60 ml)
  • 2 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 ΒΌ cups unsweetened almond milk (300 ml)
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C). Grease your loaf pan lightly with coconut oil or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. This step takes about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, xanthan gum, and sea salt until evenly combined (2-3 minutes).
  3. In another bowl, beat the eggs with melted coconut oil, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, and almond milk until smooth and slightly frothy (about 2 minutes).
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mix. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined. The batter will be thicker than typical bread dough but softer than cake batter. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Scrape the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Tap the pan gently on the counter to release air bubbles (about 1 minute).
  6. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs. Tent with foil after 30 minutes if browning too quickly.
  7. Let the bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely (about 30 minutes) to prevent sogginess.

Notes

Measure flours carefully by spooning and leveling to avoid dense bread. Use room temperature eggs and liquids for better texture. Do not skip apple cider vinegar or xanthan gum for proper rise and binding. Let bread cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling. Use a serrated knife for slicing. Store wrapped at room temperature up to 3 days or freeze slices for longer storage.
